+11.2 What does Mailman do to help protect me from unsolicited bulk email
+(spam)?
+</H2>
+
+<P>
+A technical list's archives may include answers to a range of
+different questions.  Often, the people who have posted these answers would
+be happy to help someone who doesn't quite understand the answer, and don't
+mind giving their address out for that purpose.  But
+although it would be wonderful if everyone could contact each other easily,
+we also want to make sure that the list and list archives are not abused by 
+people who send spam.  
+
+<P>
+To make a range of options available to list administrators, Mailman allows
+a variety of configurations to help protect email addresses.  
+Many of these settings are optional to the list administrator, so your
+particular list may be set up in different ways.  List administrators 
+must walk a fine line between protecting subscribers and making it difficult
+for people to get in touch.  
+
+<P>
+
+<UL>
+<LI>Subscriber lists
+		
+<UL>
+<LI>The list administrator can choose to have the subscriber list
+			public, viewable only to list members, or viewable only to list 
+			administrators.
+</LI>
+<LI>The subscriber list is shown with the addresses obscured to
+			make it difficult for spam harvesters to collect your address.
+</LI>
+<LI>You can choose to have your address hidden from the subscriber
+			list.  (See Section&nbsp;<A HREF="node37.html#sec:nolist">10.4</A> for more information.) 
+</LI>
+<LI><span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
+The entire subscriber list is always available to the
+			list administrators.</span>
+		
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>List archives
+		
+<UL>
+<LI>The list administrator can choose for the archives to be public,
+			viewable only to members (private), or completely unavailable.
+</LI>
+<LI>The HTML archives which are created by Pipermail (the 
+			archiving program which comes default with Mailman) contain only
+			obscured addresses.  Other archiving programs are available and can
+			do different levels of obfuscation to make addresses less readable.
+</LI>
+<LI>If you wish to be more sure, you can set the mail header
+			``<span class="mailheader">X-No-archive:</span> yes'' and Mailman will not archive your
+			posts.  Similarly, you can set the mail header
+			``<span class="mailheader">X-Archive:</span> no'' to disable archiving.
+
+<P>
+<span class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b>
+This does not stop other members from quoting your posts,
+			possibly even including your email address.</span>
+		
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Limited posting to the lists
+		
+<UL>
+<LI>The list administrator can choose who can post to the list.
+			Most lists are either moderated (a moderator or administrator
+			reviews each posting), set so only subscribers may post to the list,
+			or allow anyone to post to the list.
+</LI>
+<LI>By allowing only subscribers to post to a list, Mailman often 
+			blocks all spam and some viruses from being sent through the list.
+			As such, this is a fairly common setting used by list administrators.
+		
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Anonymous lists
+		
+<UL>
+<LI>Lists can also be made fully anonymous: all identifying
+			information about the sender is stripped from the header before the
+			message is sent on.  
+</LI>
+<LI>This is not typically used for anti-spam measures (it has
+			other uses), but it could be used in that way if desired.
+		
+</LI>
+</UL>
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+Of course, many address-obscuring methods can be circumvented by determined 
+people, so be aware that the protections used may not be enough.
